is this how London looked like in Dickensian times, about 175 years ago....

Quite a chunky stocky little bull that lady

I am not an expert so forgive me if i say something dumb. Prohibiting sounds great, but does just doing that help solve the issue , meaning, do most people/farmers who resort to burninghave a choice currently /have the financial means to choose an alternative.

Freaky dude...Nope for the "youthful indiscretion" , A**hole is 26 years old, not 16 yo. Pathetic.

The title "Thailand battles hazardous PM2.5 pollution" ...Really...To wage a battle you need to actually fight...

Sure, could be in some cases. Among those that i was referring to, they didn't "turn themselves in" (at the airport or other), but were caught or checked for whatever reason (two of them were simply riding a motorcycle and driving a car and were stopped/pulled to the side by traffic officers). My guess is that they managed a bail and had to pack asap and take a plane.

mmmm.....weird. I've been living in Thailand for 14 years now. Know quite a bunch of people who overstayed their visas by more than that. Never got to jail. Paid a fine and were sent back home (or went to an other country of their choice), and barred from re-entering Thailand for some time. True, they could afford the plane ticket (might be a bit different for those who can't and have no money at all ). Cheers

Some decents lads too out there, even the "sensationalist" medias usually push forward the nasty, best-selling stuff. I lost wallet in a taxi, around 6000 thb, credit card etc..in it, plus a small card with my name and adress in Bkk. The next day the taxi driver droped it at the condo's management office. Not a baht missing. Cheers

Phuket and other places here in Thailand (and other countries too) is where these drug-dealing scumbags go to spend their drug money. Fact.

oh dear.. what a slobbish write-off......as pathetic as it can get

i'm in Pranburi since saturday (close to the sheraton villas). Wind was crazy strong until this morning. No-one in their right mind would have gone out for kitesurfing in the area or take anyone out at sea for that purpose. Insane.

so what about non-students the same age brackets?

yawn. So boring.

In France there is an expression ; "la nuit, tous les chats sont gris" (at night , all cats are grey). And also Everyone looks good in the eye of the "bottle"holder 😉

Many small communities and villages in Thailand are riddled with drugs (Meth first). It's a scourge.

Not incompatible...i do both :)

Its the other way around for me. I come back every winter to France. the mountain, the snow , the ski, the magic of so many towns and villages in xmas time.

...Wouldn't say these "cheap women" are actually cheap anymore. Quite the opposite. Some things don't change, but prices definitly do. Cheers

Really. Do you know any "best place" for psych disorders?

these 2 look like all these poor souls on fentanyl in US streets, unconscious and with their bodies freakishly folded in two. Good the Thai guy is built like a bull and was able to carry them in this cart.

That guy is a sucker and is plain wrong. Sure, Ladies "services" are actually not cheap at all anymore and inflation is "steep", times change.... (unless you opt for a toothless Gremlin hooked on meth). Many are almost on par with many western places for the same type of "services" and people definitely have less money. But absolutely not an excuse.

Atrocious. Weird also to see all these adults in the video roaming around without a care about what's going on with the kids on the lap of this guy. Unknowingly of what's really going on probably (so i hope...)

meet your bride....

Hi..12 years working in Thailand (been there, done that...witnessed this & that...). The truth is, only a very very tiny fraction of these bar girls/prostitutes get lucky enough to get to marry a "customer". Why would they do that? oh dear...Money + money + money again..Not to end up like the greatest majority who don't end up with a customer (aka, worn-out and rotten to the core and turning from a "Mogwai" to a "Gremlin" after a few years of that lifestyle, where years count triple...Harsh, but that's what it is.). Now with regards to those customers who marry them, 99% of the times these poor fools end up in the dumpster. Milked like a cow plugged to a mechanical milking machine : BDS (broke, depressed, suicidal). No fairy tale in here. Cheers
